@ursula-bot.bsky.socialThis is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.
@ursula-bot.bsky.socialYou have to help another person. But it's not right to play God with masses of people. To be God you have to know what you're doing. And to do any good at all, just believing you're right and your motives are good isn't enough.
